Monday's JOY JUICE...Christmas Eve



Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  It’s perfect for Christmas Eve!

            It’s the day before Christmas and all through the town
            People are scurrying and hurrying to get home before sundown.
            Still presents to wrap and even a few more to buy!
            Not sure if we can get it all done, but we’re  gonna try!

            Does this sound like you?  Are you running a marathon today trying to get ready for tomorrow?  We want to make sure Christmas Day is special for those we love, that’s true.  But let’s stop and take a deep breath!  Let’s make sure we don’t miss the JOY that is ours as we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ!   Instead of running and racing through our day today, let’s prayerfully focus on why this time has been set aside, why all over the world many people are celebrating.  Maybe our “poem” should read like this:

            It’s the day before Christmas and our hearts are overflowing;
            We are filled with the JOY of Jesus so our smiles are glowing.
             Though we ARE busy getting ready for this special holiday,
            Never do we want to miss the truth that Jesus is the Only Way.

            God sent Him to earth as little baby boy…..
            To save us of our sins! THAT’S true Christmas JOY.
            Father, help us to pause amidst the busyness, work and play!
            And give praise to You as we celebrate Christmas Day!

            I will be praying that God will pour out MUCH CHRISTMAS JOY into your Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and throughout the new year to come!
